Yet Another Game of Chess

Simple game of chess I initially wrote in Java as part of a Computer Science course in 2003. Recently rewritten in Kotlin.

Design and implementation details are discussed in the wiki.

Binary releases

Binary releases for OSX as well as Java 11+ can be found here.

Playing from source

You will need Java 11+ to compile and run the game.

git clone git@github.com:jenarros/yagochess.git
cd yagochess
./gradlew yagoc-desktop:runApp

TODO

Distribution

• Provide windows build

Performance

• Review if additional performance improvements can be done
• Make alphabeta algorithm iterative

Gameplay

• Implement checkmate due to repeated configuration 3 times

UI

• Implement console UI
• Separate debug log from move log

Open/Save

• Serialize games in plain text instead of binary. Use algebraic notation.
